Toast Morabito tracking thread

[couldhavebeen]

My sister called me up to ask about that! I'm a med student but obviously I have a very limited scope of knowledge when it comes to sports medicine; it's not exactly essential stuff for me at the moment but I do read a fair bit of research as it interests me.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment has its supporters, but realistically the scope and size of any trials that support it seems to be limited. They are probably at the Hail Mary stage right now though, so you never know.

I can't remember the players name but my memory cells have a Claremont or a West Coast premiership player with serious cork ,leg injury for treatment at Fremantle Hospital in the decompression tank back in the late 70's or early 80's .
There were numerous daily news reports on how he his recovery was going , West Aussie football fans were going into melt down about it .
Someone will remember the incident .
Help me out guys please .

 

[couldhavebeen]

Can you please PM me their names?

Cheers.

No can do till I speak to them and get the O\K .

 

[PantaloonRazorblade]

No can do till I speak to them and get the O\K .

I can see that conversation going well. "Hey I was telling some random on the internet about your child. Ok if I give him your name?"

 

[PapaJ]

I think he was after the parents names?

 

[Dormammu]

Morabito listed as "Test" on the AFL Injury List page.

Surely a typo?

Typo for what? Tent? Rest? Vest? I am struggling here.

Toast.

 

[Dormammu]

I'm guessing they hit "T" with the intention of typing "TBC" and mistakenly hit enter when "Test" was offered as an alternative.

 

[martorius]

maybe it's not a typo! with so many defenders out maybe he's being earmarked for a return... bone bruising is such a vague excuse for an injury anyway, can clear up pretty quickly!

 

[Allikat]

No way it's legit. Even if his knee was feeling better, he'd have to have a mini-preseason of training before he'd come off the injury list.

 

[greatgatsby]

I'm guessing they hit "T" with the intention of typing "TBC" and mistakenly hit enter when "Test" was offered as an alternative.

My money's on this. Just possibly though it's a test of the bruising to establish whether he can resume training. Would have thought he'd be aiming for the pre-season now though.

 

[Lost_Deputy]

Lol. 6 weeks ago it was crazy to suggest Mora would ever play again, now a wrong keyboard press has him as a potential starter!

 

[Quokka]

Test then LTI list?

Either that or Bondy just has a work experience kid with him this week.

Probably senior list management from Carlton

 

[serial_thrilla]

Haha. I hope that Mora doesn't read that injury list and decide that he should rock up to training on Thursday with his playing boots on.

 

[JunglistPosse]

Mark Harvey would've had him playing

 

[Freo Dr]

Bone bruising is not the end of world from what I have heard.

Way I look at it we need to change 3 players each year and this year I would be rotating 4 out from our main list because of the age profile we have - but we have 3 already:
McPharlin (ret.), Crowley (ret.), Sylvia (delisted). 4th player could just be a trade out or someone like Duffy who I don't think has what it takes.
So plenty of space on our list or the rookie list for a former top 10 talent to take the long road to recovery.

dunno about the 80s but Peter Bell used it in the mid 90s to get up for a game. Not sure it was that successful.

Ballard will be upgraded and I'm pretty sure Moller needs to get upgraded or delisted??

 

[youmewe]

Bollard will be upgraded and I'm pretty sure Moller needs to get upgraded or delisted??

Well I agree he certainly looks solid enough, but can he run / mark / handball?



Then again neither can Zac D.

 

[Purple Suit]

Test then LTI list?

Either that or Bondy just has a work experience kid with him this week.

I'm sure it went like this
"What's happening with Mora?"
"He's having a Test on his knee" - In the US with specialist doctors.
"Knee - Test"

 

[Frimental Fan]

Well I agree he certainly looks solid enough, but can he run / mark / handball?

Lol He'll be OK as long as he doesn't get kicked in the bollards

Surely you mean ballards?

Bone bruising is not the end of world from what I have heard....

Correct. My reading on bone bruising suggests that while it's not a quick injury to recover from, it is far from a career-ending condition:

From MD-Health.com:

Causes of Bone Bruise

A bone bruise usually results from either a direct and sudden force or from repetitive compressive forces that are not strong enough to break or fracture a bone. There are many ways one can suffer from a bone bruise.
​

• • • Sports injuries - Bone bruises are a common type of sports injuries, especially in those which involve a lot of falling or getting into hard contact with objects or other players. The knees and the ribs are commonly affected, and it is always advisable to wear proper sports gear to avoid these injuries.
    • Twisting injuries - This can result in sprained ankles or knees, and these are usually accompanied by bone bruises. Twisting a joint causes the involved bones to collide with each other forcefully, leading to a bone bruise.
    • High velocity trauma to a bone - In general, any type of direct impact or high velocity trauma to a bone brought about by an incident such as a car accident, a high fall, or a blunt force can result in a hematoma, a contusion, or a bruise to the bone affected.

Symptoms of Bone Bruise
Like most types of trauma, a bone bruise is characterized by pain and swelling. However, the pain involved in a bone bruise tends to be more severe and lasts longer than a soft tissue trauma. The swelling may be seen around the soft tissue surrounding the bone, such as the skin and muscles, and may be accompanied by discoloration. When a bone bruise is adjacent to a joint, blood and fluids can spread to the joint, causing it to swell.

A bone bruise may cause minimal damage to a bone which may be detected with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) but not by plain x-rays.

Treatments for Bone Bruise
After a traumatic injury, it is best to rule out a fracture by consulting a doctor who may request tests to be done. When a bone bruise is diagnosed with an MRI, one should rest the involved bone or joint and avoid any type of stress that could impede the healing process.

Immediately apply an icepack or ice wrapped in thin cloth over the injured area to prevent excessive swelling and pain.

One can also take anti-inflammatory medications to reduce severe inflammation and pain, which can last for more than a few weeks to a month. These may include over-the-counter drugs non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) like ibuprofen (Motrin), diclofenac (Voltaren), or piroxicam (Feldene). However, it is important to take these drugs at the proper dose, preferably with food, to avoid common side effects like gastrointestinal disturbances.

Avoid placing more stress on the bruised bone area to allow adequate healing. A bone bruise heals more slowly than a soft tissue damage. To support and protect a bone near a joint from further trauma, it is advisable to wear a brace, such as a knee brace.

Experts also advise against using tobacco or nicotine, which can delay the healing process, since they constrict blood vessels, thus reducing blood flow to the area.​

There is a correlation between ACL / Cartilage tears and bone-bruising occuring. Apparently there can be degenerative effects to the bone in some cases, but this too is not necessarily career ending either. They also heal very slowly - we're talking several months, not weeks. There is the slimmest of outside changes that Morra might play again this season, but really it's a massive long shot. Next pre-season is far more likely, and probably the most advisable timeline given his history of injury.

I think its more serious than just bone bruising..

They wouldn't be looking at some of the best surgeons in the world, if it could heal it self.
